Refinancing your current Florida adjustable rate mortgage with FHA is a great option to secure a fixed rate mortgage.  Florida FHA home loans are easier to qualify and offer more flexibility than conventional loans.  You can also cash out equity to pay off high interest debt, make home improvements or pay any other expenses.

FHA offers (3) separate refinancing options:

1. FHA Rate/Term Refinance:

The FHA Rate/Term Refinance is for Florida home owners who currently have a conventional fixed rate or ARM mortgage and wish to refinance into a lower interest rate. Remember, you do NOT have to currently have a FHA home loan to refinance into one.  The FHA rate/term refinance program helps borrowers who wish to have a secure FHA insured fixed rate mortgage.

2. Cash-Out FHA Refinance:

A Florida  Cash Out FHA Refinance Loan is perfect for the Florida homeowner who would like to access the equity in their home. The Florida FHA loan program is beneficial to homeowners whose property has increased in value since it was purchased. With a Florida FHA Cash Out Refinance, you can access up to 85% of your home’s value.

 3. Streamline FHA Refinance:

The Florida FHA Streamline Refinance is designed to lower the interest rate on a current FHA mortgage or convert a current FHA adjustable rate mortgage into a fixed rate. A Streamline FHA Refinance Loan can be performed quickly and easily.  It typically requires less paperwork than a normal refinance and sometimes no appraisal, qualifying debt ratios or income verification.

What factors determine if I am eligible for an FHA Refinance Home Loan?

To be eligible for an FHA Refinance Loan, your monthly housing costs (mortgage principal and interest, property taxes, and insurance) must meet a specified percentage of your gross monthly income. Your credit background and past mortgage payment history will be carefully considered as well.  A minimum credit score of a 620 is usually required to obtain an FHA approval.   Additionally, you must have enough monthly income to pay your housing costs plus all revolving monthly debt.
